Is this an anime thing?
It’s Japanese; it means older brother.
Seriously though, if someone needed to find an old thread, googling the site with some key words for the thread will be just as easy, and considering that this thread probably won’t get pinned, it’ll actually be more easy.
With that said, you make it sound like scanning from the negative is a BAD thing. Would you think so?
I’m not exactly sure how theatrical prints would have better contrast than the negative itself.
As far as I know, the negatives were never meant to be seen when these films were made and released (before the digital projection era, that is). The wide release of any film was going to be on a third or fourth generation 35mm print, with a limited release on 70mm prints (which, while holding some more detail than 35mm prints due to larger film, would still suffer generational loss).
Also, because it was something that couldn’t be worked around back then, generational grain and contrast was sometimes used to the advantage of the filmmakers; for example, to cover up special effects.
Take a look at this shot comparison:
35mm:
WOWOW (HDTV):
Notice how obvious the matted background is in the HDTV version, compared to the properly lit print image.
EDIT: Sorry to butt in here, haha 😄.
Won’t this thread eventually be forgotten, thus making it kind of useless?
Yeah, I probably should have said “fluid color fluctuation” rather than “flicker”. Looking at the section, there appears to be at least one largely unaffected frame in each shot/scene.
Deep Space Nine turned from being episodic to serialized, but I would prefer episodic.
If it has plenty of standalone episodes which don’t tie into the main story arc, then it ain’t serialized. DS9 had plenty of standalone episodes.
they had plenty of standalone episodes in the early seasons, but once the they got to the war with the dominion, it became serialized.
I wouldn’t say the entire show was serialized. There was a progressing story arc, but most of the episodes (even in seasons six and seven) were contained plots. Remember the baseball episode?
Thanks for answering 😄. I really hope that second print can get scanned some time. This Raiders print being scanned is my dream come true, and I plan on donating to the cause whenever I get some money.
I have a question: why do some scenes have this blue-violet flicker over the image?
Is that part of the print, or is that from the scan? Just curious.
Every time I see Jay’s avatar, my immediate thought is: Erika Strada…
New details on Discovery. Set 10 years before TOS!
http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/star-trek-discovery-gay-character-cbs-all-access-1201835052/yeah, I got a bad feeling about that show. I think it is a mistake to have it in the original universe.
- that universe no longer exists due to the events in Star Trek 09. Therefore, they are technically doing a whole series that never happened.
That’s like telling someone they shouldn’t watch TNG because it never happened according to the J-brams films. The original universe still exists. That’s why the current film series timeline was given a specified name. There are two alternate timelines existing in ST cannon.
EDIT: I guess I typed to slow…

Quit making my thread seem useless! 😛
Goodbye Stranger - Supertramp
Oh, and also this. My goodness.
I was just pointing out it’s weird to say the Next Gen music debuted in TPM.
That is weird, considering Next Gen started in 1987 and The Phantom Menace came out in 1999.
…Radius of The Lost Arc.
I’ve seen the Ninja Turtles one, and I must say, whoever makes those videos really likes to talk about and animate penises. Those videos disturb me.
I’ve always pictured impscum as a character act. Like when Frink had his Ric Olie sock, only it’s the one account he has. He acts the way he does on here to play that character, which gathers him attention. He probably throws in his actual opinions, but most likely blows it up to 100 and makes his ego bigger in the process.
Or he could just be like you guys say, I don’t really know.
I’ve also been watching their re:View videos, but I skipped on Eraserhead because I haven’t had the chance to see it yet and that’s the kind of thing that I’m a little worried about spoilers on, haha.
I love Half in the Bag. Entertaining, informative, honest and well thought out reviews.
I really don’t watch many reviews because I don’t watch many modern movies. I watch Half in the Bag no matter what their covering though. It’s always entertaining.
Same here. I love all of their stuff. Do you also watch Best of the Worst?
I feel like Jahns looks at Rotten Tomatoes and bases his review on that, unless it’s a long-awaited superhero movie that people are defending if it got bad reviews.
Even aside from his review content/opinions, I find his voice really annoying to listen to.
Ugh. I really can’t stand Jeremy Jahns.
Same.
Sending prayer and other good vibes your dad’s way, Ender.
I used to play Quake Multiplayer over a workplace LAN in the mid/late 90s.
Now I just waste time here during work.
If you don’t mind my asking, I’m curious: what is your job that allows you to waste so much time here?
